Archival Prints: Images from Wild Beauty

Price dependent on size

The images featured in Wild Beauty were meticulously restored and carefully prepared for print in order to capture the nuanced tones found in the albumen silver prints, gelatin silver prints, platinum prints, hand-colored photographs, and early Kodachromes. These stunning archival-quality inkjet prints are made to order. The sizes refer to the paper size; a small border is left around the image to make framing easier.
